Make the status bar stay at 100% width on resize

[BlackHoleSun]

How do you make the status bar stay on the bottom and 100% width when you resize your window? Also, I have the resize option in the bottom right of just the status bar, but the option isn't set, and it's cutting off the end of my copyright text. If I enter spaces it's fine. So how do I fix that? My code is below:

Local $statusTxt[2] = ["Status", @TAB & @TAB & "© First Name Last Name"]
$guiStatusBar = _GUICtrlStatusBar_Create($gui, 100, $statusTxt)

This fixes the resizing... about the text being cut, it's just the length of the string (two tabs). A solution might be to have the right path right oriented, but I don't know if that is possible ...

Thanks KaFu! It works like a charm now. I did notice I can resize the window with either the status bar or the window border itself. I guess I'll have to look into resizing the gui some more. Thanks again!
